Our Story

“Posh Plants and Curios is more than just a place to buy a houseplant-it’s a visual journey, a vibrant community hub, and a true labor of love.” –Quintessential Barrington

When curly-hair specialist Annette Norwood moved Posh Curls to downtown Barrington in 2024, she never dreamed a second business would soon bloom above it. With an eye for sculpture and design, she decorated the salon with so many luscious plants and vessels that clients often took them to the register! Her greenery collection soon grew upstairs her charming 1860s building alongside her passion to nurture with warmth and artistry.

Posh Plants and Curios officially opened its doors in Spring 2026 to offer easy-care plants and trees in unique vessels, plus whimsical décor and vintage pieces to adorn your home. Partnering with local artists and businesses, the lush space is also packed with rotating hidden gems to discover. Whether you are looking for the perfect indoor tree or a bespoke home gift, Posh Plants and Curios has curated style you won’t find anywhere else.
